September 1995
SFX historical notes: The following comes from a feature about a reunion of the original main cast members of Blake’s 7 .
Character assassination!
We asked the original Blake’s 7 cast to sum up their characters in just one, simple word...
Blake (Gareth Thomas) “Er, I can't say ‘stupid’, can I? How about ‘dedicated’?”
Avon (Paul Darrow) “Trustworthy.”
Villa (Michael Keating) “Sensible.”
Jenna (Sally Knyvette) “Em, let me think about that. [Thinks for a bit.] Oh, I don't know - make something up.”
Gan (David Jackson) “Dead.”
Zen (Peter Tuddenham) “Pompous.”
Orac (Peter Tuddenham) “Fussy.”
Slave (Peter Tuddenham) “Apologetic.”
Travis (Stephen Grief) “Vengeful.”
Cally (Jan Chappell) “That’s a stupid question. How would YOU answer that?”
